The Indian government is considering further simplifying investment guidelines for foreign direct investment in multi-brand retail in order to attract global retailers who have so far stayed away. After a review meeting, the Commerce Minister said the guidelines may be simplified based on issues raised by global investors. The minister plans to hold a roundtable with CEOs from Indian companies and foreign investors to discuss implementation and address concerns. Any foreign investment proposals in multi-brand retail will receive fast-track approval and support. The government may issue additional clarifications to the investment guidelines based on the meetings.
